All I can say is that if everyone can wait untill changes are made before criticism and if you don't want to get banned then not to trash the owner...

The concept was laid out from the first ban but everyone keeps jumping on it.. Johnny don't need these forums, certainly doesn't need a userbase trashing akp name and it's owner.

Not saying that the bans necessarily are in line with how staff dish out bans just saying, when you own and pay for a site, you can do what you want.

It's not the site's users' fault if the owner is trash.

She is a dumb bitch that makes no difference.

The echo chamber of liberals is hilarious.

They really like to complain. I doubt this is even affecting the timeline for an Aespa comeback. Refuse to support this and you'll just get less Winter & Karina. It's up to you.

Quote from itiswhatitisss

YT is just a dying platform. You can even see fandoms start to prioritize Spotify & Apple Music over YT due to multiple factors such as them deleting views. Add on the fact that companies can just pay their way into a seemingly impressive 24 hr view record now and yeah it's no wonder why no one seems to care about them now.

YouTube isn't a dying platform just because it doesn't provide accurate viewing numbers for music videos. Most YT users don't even care about that, because they aren't Kpop fans wanting to boast about how many times they can watch an MV. If YouTube dies, it will be because of its absurdly restrictive rules about what you can and can't do if you want to stay monetized, since no one makes videos just for the sake of it any more. They want to get paid.

That said, as someone mentioned previously, YT will not be replaced by a Chinese app like TikTok. We would never allow that, and we even nearly banned TikTok here several years ago. Not to mention the app would have to be entirely overhauled in order to function like YT. Which begs the question, can anyone even create a replacement for YT without being sued for copying their idea? This is what leads me to believe YouTube won't be replaced by a competitor any time soon, no matter how poorly managed it is.

Why would you need to revert back to RV?

Quote from ApexApinkPanda

Never been a red velvet fan. The only song of theirs I like is Russian roulette.

Okay, so educate yourself instead of just assuming the data is wrong simply because a certain group hasn't made it onto your playlist. This goes for everyone disparaging RV in this thread. What you personally listen to doesn't dictate what's most popular in S. Korea or elsewhere.

Quote from ApexApinkPanda

I have never seen or heard of Red Flavor. And Melon only keeps track of Melon. it doesn't not track other streaming platforms. So no, you don't have all the information therefore the conclusion is flawed.

You're on a Kpop forum. How have you never heard the biggest hit by one of Kpop's biggest girl groups? Buncha noobs.

It really depends entirely on whether or not their company is willing to pay for American promotions at this point in time, because frankly it doesn't really matter how popular the group actually are (or aren't) in America, if you pay them enough, they'll give you a spot (I know fans of other groups who've appeared on these shows will hate me for saying this, but it's true.)

That is truly random. What do you think the overlap even is between Psy fans & Twice fans?

Quote from unbannBLACPINK

no i think the funny part is american football isnt even played with a ball ( and rarely with foot )

i think it would be a lot less memed if they named it american rugby or something

still, im not an elitist about terms, call it what you want

American football evolved from rugby, but they're pretty different sports at this point, so that wouldn't work. Association football and rugby football were actually both called that because they were played on foot, as opposed to the sports of the higher classes, which were played on horseback. So it doesn't really matter how much the ball gets kicked around.

Quote from unbannBLACPINK

just joke

i hecking love america

soccer ftw

Ironically soccer is a British term, but the Brits mock us for still using it instead of "football" just because they stopped.

Quote from piedpiper134340

Not Americans acting as if they invented everything while being them thieves themselves of every culture in the world.

Quote from unbannBLACPINK

well technically, american culture is a mix of every single culture out there

America was formed through immigration, but it definitely has its own culture (which then gets exported everywhere else, because cultural imperialism is our favorite hobby.) It's not like we merely mixed everyone's existing cultures together without creating any of our own in the meantime. That would be weird, if not impossible. We aren't "thieves," and you'd do kindly to not use your American technology to call us that.

Quote from Dreamer95

When it comes to music and stuff, I can give you all a pass but literally jumping into the whole New Jeans copying Japanese groups/fashion discourse and unironically shouting "NO, IT IS ALL AMERICAN BLACK CULTURE ACTUALLY"pasted-from-clipboard.png

Like bruh, take a fucking seat, Americans whether white or black, did not invent the world. Your celebrities don't own the intellectual property to clothers that they wore, most of them are dressed by high end European fashion brands. Yet Europeans are often quite and Americans are being loud af.

We didn't invent the world, but we did invent pop music.

Seriously though, people should be less divisive, constantly trying to claim everything as theirs and only theirs.

Calling yourself a "local Kpop band" when your locale isn't even Korea just screams of desperation. It's particularly cringey when you consider that Kpop copied the entire formula from American bubblegum pop to begin with, but they know that's mostly a dead genre, so they have to target Kpop fans specifically. You're not a Kpop band, you're just a boy band that's 20 years too late for your home market.

Y’all are fucking funny does the touring till july not meaning anything to y’all? They are literally introduced as bp members in july 2016…

That's only the first half of the year.

You scared me for a second. I thought something happened to her based on the title. Glad she’s okay, and you’re right, it’s not Christmas without her.

Same. I would at least change the "won't" to "wouldn't." Although I'll always prefer thread titles that actually tell you what the thread is about, but I know that's not AKP's style...

Quote from R26TE21

Individually both of their albums sold less, but together they sold more. It's heavily based on timing.
Just like Twice had more Spotify US streams in the US in the tracking period, but Born Pink was the most streamed album in he US in the tracking period.

I guess you can't read charts.

Quote from R26TE21

Tracking period was January 1 to October 31 for Spotify.
Through December another group that released music later has more US streams but Spotify wrapped always ends early.

Billboard tracking period was November to November, so Twice topping it with two albums makes sense compared to better selling groups with just one album.

There were no better selling girl groups in the US. Both of their albums topped the competition individually.

Twice's Signal. It's a really bizarre and frankly terrible song the first time you listen to it, but it has an equally bizarre capacity for growing on you, to the point that you eventually like it even though you subconsciously know you totally shouldn't.

Coincidentally, I'm also dating everyone who uses the same emojis as me.
